Tena koutou katoa today we are going to be talking about. The Maori history.
There are 16 different types of haka.
The haka is a war dance.
The haka uses whole-body movement, songs, and chants.
The haka is performed to show emotion and thought, welcome people, celebrations, to spread fear in conflict.
The war chant is a call to the god to ask for help.
The waiatas are based on the stories and the legend.
They stomp their feet to connect to their Whenua.
There are four elements of the haka Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Your Whenua, ahi, hau, and wai.
They wiri (shake their hands) to represent the heat waves rising from the ground, to share life.
The Maori tattoo is a cool expression of cultural heritage and identity.
